Some people like neat suburbs. I always am attracted to the rundown and the old and the offbeat.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Some old people, they remember that they used to play clarinet, and they remember the squeaks of the clarinet. But I don't play like that.

Some people call me scrappy - and that's because I am.

Some people are drawn to a van Gogh or a Rembrandt. Some are attracted to exotic guns. Coins. Stamps. I am attracted to cars.

I still love to do the old songs. I know some people don't.
